This paper shows how to use OWL-S in conjunction with Web service standards, and explains and illustrates the value added by the semantics expressed in OWl-S.
Abstract
Service interface description languages such as WSDL, and related standards, are evolving rapidly to provide a foundation for interoperation between Web services. At the same time, Semantic Web service technologies, such as the Ontology Web Language for Services (OWL-S), are developing the means by which services can be given richer semantic specifications. Richer semantics can enable fuller, more flexible automation of service provision and use, and support the construction of more powerful tools and methodologies. Both sets of technologies can benefit from complementary uses and cross-fertilization of ideas. This paper shows how to use OWL-S in conjunction with Web service standards, and explains and illustrates the value added by the semantics expressed in OWL-S.

Toward automatic discovery and invocation of information-providing web services

TL;DR: A precise and decidable matching method based on the Description Logic reasoner that can determinate the accurate binding of IO between requested and advertised services and describes a useful use case for automatic Web Services discovery and invocation.

Transformation of complex type WSDL into OWL-S for facilitating SWS discovery

TL;DR: There is a need for transformation from WS into SWS and this paper proposes a framework for conversion, which outperforms the similar conversion method.

Enriching UDDI information model with an integrated service profile

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an information model called an integrated service profile that covers aspects of Web Services, i.e. attribute-based profile contains attributes that are described more easily with some values, while specification-based profiles represent attributes whose values are complex and then should be described as specifications.

Business process execution language for web services

TL;DR: This book focuses on executable processes and comes back to abstract processes in Chapter 4, which can be used to replace sets of rules usually expressed in natural language, which is often ambiguous.

Semantic Matching of Web Services Capabilities

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a solution based on DAML-S, a DAMLbased language for service description, and show how service capabilities are presented in the Profile section of a DAMl-S description and how a semantic match between advertisements and requests is performed.

Semantic Web services

TL;DR: The authors propose the markup of Web services in the DAML family of Semantic Web markup languages, which enables a wide variety of agent technologies for automated Web service discovery, execution, composition and interoperation.

Business Process Execution Language for Web Services Version 1.1

Tony Andrews
TL;DR: The BPEL4WS specification defines an interoperable integration model that should facilitate the expansion of automated process integration in both the intracorporate and the business-to-business spaces.
